I know this is way old, but I’m running out of things I feel like writing about and I need to start clearing off some of these drafts. In early October, Techdirt reported on musicians lining up to take back their copyright from the record companies, in the wake of Jack Kirby’s heirs invoking the [...] Make no mistake about it: I’m no fan of those who endanger others needlessly by driving while intoxicated (sometimes called driving under the influence or drink-driving). But some of the laws are set up to give people like Daryl Fleck what can be perceived as a raw deal. And I believe he did get a [...] I’ve let this sit here way too long.

I’m going to say a bit about the mystery author in the [...] A recent post on bitrebels.com details the story of “Chris” who was recently demoted for some of his Twitter posts that his company’s loss prevention department apparently took exception to. It is unfortunately very scarce on details, so there’s not much for me to comment on. I find it difficult for a company–especially the loss [...] According to a recent CNet article, it seems that Microsoft has been a bit deceptive with their claims that Windows 7 boots faster. The claim is from a company called Iolo Technologies: [Iolo's] lab unit found that a brand-new machine running Windows 7 takes a minute and 34 seconds to become usable, as compared to [...] |
